I just set cruise control for the first time ever! It's only been something like 25 months and 35,000 miles…

If only I had also not just noticed that Dodge completely fucked my alignment when they did the steering recall, I'd be a happy camper!

Reseated connector and all good. Issue with harness on one side or the other, hoping valve cover side but expecting engine harness side.

Grey market from where? Could be interesting for other projects...

Fucking deer.

A yearling ran into the side of me while I was paying attention to avoiding traffic as the body of deer #1 spun off into the left lane from the big truck I was following about 1/8mi ahead of me. Not sure if it was deer #2 or #3 that got me. May have been one other?


It did go deep enough to get the rocker too. Paint on the outside of the rocker didn’t crack. Haven’t looked inside.


Didn’t call it in, hopefully the photos are enough evidence...

Humbug. Worst animal strike I’ve had by far. Previous record was a cracked slat in the jetta grille. I’d much rather take one in the side than deal with bumpers into tires or cooler stack damage. Nothing else I could see aside from blood and shit. Brakes and fuel lines good, trailer skin looked unscathed.

THANK YOU for the help tonight, gents. Sorry it went so long and was so painful.

Right side bad ball joints done. Feels much tighter on the road. Had to be loose for tens of thousands of miles. Steering recall didn’t get me a fresh free alignment, it just cost me tires :(

I’ll check the lefts, probably not do them for quite some time unless clicky is found.


Insurance adjustor will be here in 5 hours to do a deer damage estimate.

My guess of 2500 was almost right on. 2312. Repair the doors, not replace. That surprised me a bit.

Alignment, headlight, fender, hood and blending, then?

Mine is nothing but 3 panels of pull dents, block, and paint, along with needed r&r and blending.

power steering was whining. Was low.

Things are wet, no clear leaky spot, could be pump lines or box. Only thing difinitively dry is all around the hydroboost.

Also noticed oil with dye on the bottom of the AC compressor while I was under there. Boooo.
